Step 1: Fill Your Plant Pot with Compost

Step 2: It’s Time to Sow Your Seeds!
Now that your compost has had a chance to drain, it's go time! Grab those seeds and let's get planting. Aim to sow three different types of seeds, spacing them at 5cm intervals to give them plenty of room to grow and thrive. When covering the seeds with compost, remember that each seed might have its own preferences, so always give the packet a quick read for specific instructions. A light sprinkling of compost should do the trick, but it's always best to double-check. With your seeds snug in their new home, it won't be long before you start seeing those little green sprouts poking through. Keep nurturing them, and soon you'll have a garden bursting with life and colour!
Step 3: Ensure To Continuously Water Your Seeds
Now that you've planted your seeds and set them up for success, it's time to sit back, relax, and watch them grow into beautiful blooms or delicious veggies! Remember, your little seedlings need moisture to germinate and thrive, so keep that compost nice and moist by giving them regular watering. It's a simple yet crucial step in their journey to becoming healthy, vibrant plants. Plus, getting the kids involved in this "chore" can be a fun and educational activity, teaching them valuable lessons about responsibility and the wonders of nature. So, grab your watering can and let's keep those seeds hydrated and happy! Before you know it, you'll be enjoying the fruits (or flowers) of your labour in no time.
